best would be to tour Ireland or invite them in Zimbabwe for one test and five Odis.


We don't play Ireland enough .....

The series between zim and pak will definitely broadcast, because zimbabwe twitter quoted that

IT'S HAPPENING | The countdown has begun! Don’t miss out when @ZimCricketv play @TheRealPCB in three T20Is and two Tests at Harare Sports Club!

Broadcast details will be announced soon ...


Rabbitholebd YouTube channel will broadcast the series in Bangladesh. I already have seen the advertisement. I can't confirm whether they'll show the full series or the T20 series. They showed recently concluded Afg-Zim full series too.

Finally i see zimbabwe cricket twitter give replay to fans :o. Questions are about replica jersey, reason behind why they select harare stadium for this series and no spectators reason


I wouldn't want to spend money on our current kit. It looks very cheap quality and the design is poor too.

We haven't had a good kit for years. Need to go back to the days of Bata making our kits. They made some quality.

The last genuinely good kit we had was when Ryan Murray came on in Bamgladesh and took over the gloves from Taylor for a few overs. That was a lovely ZC kit

ZC has always made the same type of kit the past several years, red with some yellow streaks somewhere. They should just go with solid red, and white lettering. Leave the yellow out completely, IMO.

Interesting. Lots of good work is clearly being done behind the scenes here.

Lots of cricket to look forward to as well!

Yes i read that as well, so 3 ODIs of WSL against Australia in August, probably right after the Ireland series. That's really good. If the test goes ahead that's even better.

This is half a chance I reckon, Australia are very short of tests this year leading into the Ashes, so an extra test v Zimbabwe might be something they feel might be beneficial.

The only thing will be whether or not they think Zimbabwe are worthy opposition? They might think it’s more beneficial to get the batsman in the the early rounds of the Sheffield Shield instead

Damn, I have a placement in August, so my plan to go watch a game may be scuppered. Also noticed the article mentions an A series against SA. Baffles me that we don't organise more series with them even if it is just A sides.

Problem is Zimbabwe are touring Ireland through most of August. Australia are available from late July through to early September. It's the first I've heard of this postponed series to be played this August. You could possibly fit in 3 ODIs but I don't know how they can make the time to also fit in 1 Test with quarantine still a thing. Cricket Australia will soon announce their cricket season so we'll see when or if Zimbabwe feature.

This Tristan guy wrote a similar article not that long ago where apparantely Tests v Australia were out of the question but Zim were trying to add in a T20 series. Something is not right.

I get the no spectators thing, unlucky Jaybro, but they are not televising the series?

Bangladesh coming for 2 Tests, 3 ODIs and 3 T2OIs, June/July. Yay!


This is absolutely brilliant news.

I'm so pleased with the amount of cricket we're playing now

Great news. Bangladesh, then Ireland and the possibility of playing Australia as well sometime in August / September.

Well the guys have always been crying for more cricket but I wonder if “bubble fatigue” is going to set in. I don’t know how strict it is right now but 1 can assume they have to be in a bubble when they are playing domestic, international and training. Will probably get a 2 week break after Pakistan then they are straight back into it. It’s a full time job I guess, so there are no excuses

Got to give ZC some credit, they have run a lot of cricket recently during covid. NPL, some Logan, Pakistan tours, Afghanistan tour. More than some other countries. They are doing better than SA at least.

Wes madhevere has had a near perfect development, so much cricket during and after u19 stage of his career. and it showed in his performance today. Imagine if he had just been sitting for a year, no cricket. Good initative by ZC
